Growth, in print.

Twenty years of commercial building, stated once and stated plainly. I advise founders and enterprises on partnerships, revenue and cross-border growth between the United States and Africa — and I publish what it actually took.

About

I publish what it actually took.

Not the highlights. The structure underneath: the pricing decision that stopped the discounting, the partner revenue that only worked once it had its own P&L and its own owner, the forecast discipline that showed us a miss a quarter before we missed it.

None of it was clever. All of it was decided, written down, and held. I spent twenty years doing that unglamorous work behind a headline number — building the partnerships, commercial models and operating discipline that carried a business from $22 million to nearly a billion.

I work at the intersection of two things most organisations treat separately: relationships and revenue. Partnerships aren't a marketing line item in my model. They're the engine.

Put the claim in the headline. Put the proof in the first paragraph.
